Here’s a happier prediction: Eat more often and you’ll avoid all of those problems. Spreading six smaller meals across your day operates on the simple principle of satisfaction. Frequent meals tame the slavering beast of hunger. The secret? Each mini meal should blend protein and fiber-rich complex carbohydrates. "Protein and fiber give you that feeling of satiety and keep you from feeling hungry," says Tara Geise, R.D., a nutritionist in private practice in Orlando and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association (ADA).

Key thing is that each meal should not be the traditional "food coma" inducing meals like everyone is in the habit of eating. Myself included!! :) Z does this and seems to be pretty happy with it. She certainly does not get the insane like hunger at 3pm.Long live the Mojito!!! Long live the Mojito!!!
